Summary[edit]

Description

ROADRUNNER SUPERCOMPUTER AT LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY.

THE ROADRUNNER IS THE WORLD'S FIRST SUPERCOMPUTER TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINED OPERATING PERFORMANCE SPEEDS OF ONE PETAFLOP/S. OPERATING AT PETAFLOP/S PERFORMANCE MEANS THE MACHINE CAN PROCESS A MILLION BILLION CALCULATIONS EACH SECOND. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOS ALAMOS AND THE NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, ROADRUNNER WAS BUILT BY IBM AND WILL BE HOUSED AT LANL, WHERE IT WILL BE USED TO PERFORM CALCULATIONS THAT WILL VASTLY IMPROVE THE NATION'S ABILITY TO CERTIFY THAT THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR WEAPONS STOCKPILE IS RELIABLE WITHOUT CONDUCTING UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TESTS. IT WILL ALSO BE USED TO SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING SUCH AS ENERGY RESEARCH, UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX NEURAL AND BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS, AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS. ROADRUNNER WAS BUILT USING COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE HARDWARE, INCLUDING ASPECTS OF COMMERICAL GAME CONSOLE TECHNOLOGIES.
